🌀 How to Enhance Microservices with Ocelot API Gateway? Caching, Load Balancing, Request Aggregation and Rate Limiting! 🚀 Introduction Hello, Netcode-Hub community! 👋 In today's lesson, we're diving deeper into the world of API Gateways with Ocelot in .NET 8. If you've been following our series on microservices, you know we've already covered creating microservices with Ocelot API Gateway, restricting all API access through the Gateway, and adding JWT authentication. Today, we're going to enhance our gateway even further by introducing caching, load balancing, rate limiting, and request aggregation. These features are essential for building scalable, efficient, and reliable microservices architectures. Let's get started! Summary 1. Caching in Ocelot: First, let's talk about caching. Imagine you have an e-commerce application, and users frequently access product details. Without caching, every request would hit your database, causing
